react-native-nitro-http-server

A high-performance HTTP server for React Native, built on Rust's Actix-web framework and integrated via Nitro Modules for native async FFI calls. Version 1.9.2 supports iOS and Android, offering features like static file serving, WebSocket, file upload, URL rewriting, and directory listing. It provides TypeScript-friendly APIs with zero-copy Rust bindings, streaming request/response bodies, and a plugin system (WebDAV, Zip mount). Actively maintained on GitHub by iwater, with a release cadence of about monthly updates. Differentiators: Rust-based performance vs JS-based alternatives, direct FFI without bridge overhead, and compatibility with Node.js http module API.
